Sivad Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Things are never that bad that they can't get worse. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-65810610. It wasn't any old bus, it was the East Kilbride Partick Thistle supporters bus, on which I travelled to Dingwall. After dropping some fans in Maryhill, the bus was on its way to the motorway when a man suddenly appeared in front of it. The driver swerved and braked, but could not avoid hitting him, fatally. Police interviews followed, so it was three o'clock by the time I got home. So what had been a football tragedy became a real one. Somehow the result of a football match seems less important now.

Utterly awful. Indeed, football is just a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I didn’t want to post about this having been on the bus but it truly put life into perspective. Horrible night and even worse in the cold light of day. even sadder my Jags supporting mate got off at Munn’s and it turns out he knows through family who the victim was. really tragic 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 When you think of this plus Kris' father and Marc Becci it makes it very hard to get too annoyed at losing a game of football. Yes we did not get promoted but we have that to look forward to next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 A tragic thing to happen. And as FT above points out above yet another very sad occurrence of late. Completely puts outcomes of games of football in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
